民國八十三年新大學法頒佈實施，對於大專院校的體育課程產生了重大的影響。基於大學的自主權，體育課在大專校院內由原本的前三年必修、第四年選修之模式，改變為校方自行決定，此項變革重大衝擊著各大學校院體育課程的推動，因此本研究欲探討大學法實施之後，大專院校體育課程的教學概況。研究以問卷調查為工具，並配合比較85及90學年度的統計資料，瞭解近年來體育課程的變化。研究結果發現，無論是四年制、五年制或是二年制大專院校的體育課程，均有必修減少、選修增加的趨勢。傳統球類運動如桌球、籃球、羽球、網球等不論是在任何體系院校，大抵都排在開課總班數前五名內，相較之下，強調健康體適能概念以及終身運動習慣的基礎健康體育概念課程似乎較少。未來建議大專體育專業人員應注重教學的吸引力，以期在學生自由選修的大環境當中，還能幫助更多學生養成促進健康的運動習慣。目前大專院校的主流體育課，仍以專項運動為主，介紹健康體適能的概念課程較少。建議概念性課程應該加強，或是將概念性課程融入專項運動教學當中。

The new university legislation enforced in 1994 had strong influence on the administration and personnel structure of physical education in colleges and universities. The purpose of this study was to investigate the change of physical education curriculum in colleges and universities. Data were collected by questionnaire and compared with related studies in 1996 and 2001 in order to describe the changes throughout these years. The result revealed that more and more physical education curriculums were selective courses rather required. Traditional sports like table tennis, basketball, badminton and tennis are still the top ranking sports in all types of colleges and universities. However, conceptually based physical education curriculums were less. We suggest that colleges and universities should improve the safety of facilities. The teachers should improve the attractiveness of curriculum and introduce health related concepts to their students.
